Question:
Do I have a claim if injured by hitting a pothole on a bike?
Answer:
If you’re injured on your bicycle as a result of a poorly maintained road, you have a case. It’s important to get a personal injury attorney involved as quickly as possible in those situations because oftentimes, we want to make sure that the condition of the roadway is documented as close in time to the crash as possible. You want to make sure that you hire an attorney as quickly as you can, particularly before you’re contacted by any insurance companies or approached by insurance companies about trying to resolve your case.
You need someone fighting for you in your corner. Oftentimes, in these type of cases, there may be arguments on the part of an insurance company that you’re at fault for that type of a crash. That’s why you want to make sure that you hire an attorney who can help to refute those claims as early as possible. For that reason, if you’ve been injured as a result of a poorly maintained road, please call us. We’d be happy to talk with you and help you with your case.

There are certain things that go into determining the value of a case. The factors that we consider when talking about value of a bicycle accident injury case are Number One, is there any dispute about liability? Is there any claim that you were at fault for the crash? If there is, we want to make sure that we have done a proper investigation and hired any experts, if necessary, to try to dispute those claims.
Secondly, the other factor that comes into play when talking about the value of your bicycle accident injury case is the severity of your damages and how you’ve recovered from those injuries. We want to know from your doctors in particular what your injures were, whether they were permanent, and how you’ve recovered from those injuries. Those factors all come into play when talking about the value of your bicycle accident case.
Thirdly, another important thing to consider is whether you have hired an attorney who specializes in personal injury and bicycle accident cases in particular. The reason for that is that insurance companies oftentimes know which attorneys will try a case and which will not try a case. You want an attorney who will try your case because that maximizes the value of your case and maximizes the amount of money that we recover for you.
If you have questions and you were involved in a bicycle accident, please give us a call. We specialize in those types of cases. If necessary, we're happy to try that case for you if it’s required.
